Teacher's suggestion:This is a good start, with a reasonable summary about Chiron. You will ultimately want to talk about three things, probably in this order: 1) the myths about the fictional author of the letter, 2) the society in which the ancient letter was actually written, and 3) the argument of the modern chapter author. In the first two cases, the questions who, what, where and why might help you to organize your summary and each section should take two paragraphs at most (who and where can usually be treated together, and what and why can be treated together).In the case of the argument of the modern chapter author, consider the following questions: who is it written for? (apparently an academic audience familiar with Classics) Is this chapter mainly a general summary of the text? Does more than half of the chapter talk about one specific aspect of the letter? Is it mainly an attempt to identify the real ancient author? Is it mainly an argument that the real ancient author had read/was imitating certain books? Mainly an argument that certain values were important to the ancient author? Mainly a comparison of this ancient text with another ancient text? Mainly an attempt to show that it is possible to read the ancient text in a particular (modern) way? (if yes, is this very different from the way that an ancient reader would have read it?) Or is the chapter arguing something else? Also, does the author often quote the same scholar in this chapter? If yes, does the author seem to agree with that scholar? What are the main arguments that the chapter author uses in support of their general point? Does the modern chapter author structure their chapter clearly? (not all modern authors do). Does the modern author justify why their argument is important?
